Ken Bucks- Ken is from Colorado so that is something he tries to use in his campaign. He had lots of jobs before trying to be a senator. He was a truck driver, high school football coach, ranch hand, school janitor, paper boy, furniture mover, adjunct law professor, prosecutor, and businessman. He likes to use the fact that he has had all these jobs as a way to show he knows what people go though. He says that he is ready for this opportunity.
Michael Bennet- This guy is a person that likes to find new solutions for old problems. He is a person that wants to find solutions. He wants this job so that he can make this country a better place for his children. He has had different jobs in the past. One of them being a businessman and than a public servant. This guy is kind of boring in my opinion.
VIEW POINTS OF BOTH
Ken Buck Biggest issue: He feels that we should let people make their own decision when it comes to health care. “We should instead use a tax deduction to encourage individuals to buy their own insurance” (Ken Buck). Ken Buck is a republican. His views of things are from the republican view.
MICHAEL BENNET Biggest Issue: He feels that health care needs to be there for everyone. “We have an urgent and moral obligation to change the health care system in this country so that every American has affordable access to quality health care” (Bennet). He is more on the democrat’s side of things. He is a strong believer of everyone being equal.
Michale Bennet feels that our education system, sucks. He knows that as a country we have been falling short. He says he is going to make college more afforadable for people so that there is no excuses for not going.

Buck seems to have opened up a lead -- most pollsters now have him approaching 50 percent. It remains to be seen whether the PPP showing Bennet in the lead is an outlier or the beginning of a counter-trend. this website shows that the raced is still pretty tight.
Michale Bennet feels that our education system, sucks. He knows that as a country we have been falling short. He says he is going to make college more afforadable for people so that there is no excuses for not going.
